Prepare for the Remix Challenges - C++

Before you begin your project, select the correct example project. The Clawbot Control example project contains the Clawbot motors and sensors configuration. If the template is not used, your robot will not run the project correctly.

  • Go to the file menu, Open Examples, then select the Clawbot Control example project.Example project icon reads Clawbot with Controller at the bottom and shows a blue controller with a clawbot above.

  • Save the project.

    Project name dialog box in VEXcode V5 Toolbar reads Clawbot Control, and shows that slot 1 is selected to the left. To the right the Toolbar reads Saved.

  • Check to make sure the project name Clawbot Control is now in the window in the center of the toolbar. The Clawbot is now properly configured, and the Clawbot Control project is ready for use.

Now, take a look at how the instructions are being used in this project. In your engineering notebooks, make the following predictions:

  1. What’s happening when you run this project? What will the Clawbot be able to do?
  2. What would happen if we didn’t use the while and wait instructions in the callback functions for each controller button event?
